A fork of Signal for Android with passphrase lock. - mollyim/mollyim-android

Molly is a hardened version of the official Signal for Android app. It claims the following features,

  • Protects database with passphrase encryption
  • Locks down the app automatically after you go a certain time without unlocking your device
  • Securely shreds sensitive data from RAM
  • Allows you to delete contacts and stop sharing your profile
  • Clears call notifications together with expiring messages
  • Disables debug logs
  • No SMS integration

There are two flavors of it,

  • Molly - Similar to the official Signal app, plus the additional features
  • Molly-FOSS - Doesn’t rely on any Google components for location, push notifications & face blurring, plus all the additional features

Download it from here.

I’ve been using it for a couple of days & it is pretty decent so far.

Anyone here already tried or are using it? How’s the experience so far?

    I prefer Session because it routes traffic through TOR.

    Edit: I stand corrected.

      It doesn’t route traffic through Tor, but through their own similar network called LokiNet.

        Correction: Session hasn’t received Lokinet integration yet. It’s a general misconception.
